Just to add one more reason, which is a big one for me: In order to have stuff in KDE that depends on tpqt4, it needs to be buildable on all KDE platforms - ie Windows and Mac as well as Linux. This means that even if don't adopt a cmake buildsystem, we will end up with one being maintained in parallel to our buildsystem (probably by the KDE Windows team, as has happened in previous situations like this) anyway. -- George Goldberg _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
